Today we released the third preview version of the Vivaldi browser. ')
A month and a half has passed since the release of the previous version of Vivaldi TP2. All this time, we constantly received suggestions and messages about errors and shortcomings from you, our Sopranos group also worked actively - voluntary third-party testers who are constantly in direct communication with the developers and actively help us improve the browser. At the same time, we carefully read your comments on blogs and forums to be aware of your browser requirements. In general, if you didn’t even notice this, we worked on the new version of Vivaldi together with you and followed your wishes.
And today's version includes everything that we managed to do during these six weeks. What exactly? Let's look together at the list:
Added grouping of tabs, as well as the possibility of placing them for viewing on one page vertically, horizontally or on the grid;
